    I use a 60watt house bulb to keep the ambient temps up in the cage. A heat pad will only heat up the surface not the air if your cage is not sealed.

    As for the frog climbing to the bulb, I hope you don't put the lamp inside the enclosure. My frogs have never tried to get to the bulb.

    Yeah thats what I was thinking about the heat mat and no I wasn't going to put it inside the enclosure. You see its an Exo Terra and it has mesh on the top. The heat bulb on the outside of the terrarium might heat up the mesh and burn him/her. BTW I don't have the frog yet. I only considered getting one five minutes ago and am still researching them.

    So a heat lamp and a regular 60w house bulb is enough to add some extra heat?

    I use the heating bulbs that you can buy for the exo terra tank. I have never had problems with the frog burning itself..
